📖 Sobre Louisa
Louisa é a forma latinizada feminina de Louis, derivada do antigo alto alemão 'Hluodowig', que significa 'guerreira famosa' (hlud: glória + wig: batalha). Muito apreciada na Inglaterra georgiana e vitoriana, aparece no universo de Jane Austen e nas cortes europeias. O seu legado mais duradouro vem da escritora americana Louisa May Alcott, cujas 'Mulherzinhas' deram ao nome uma imortalidade literária. Em Portugal e no Brasil, a variante Luísa é igualmente querida pela sua elegância clássica.
